The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Steinhauer comes across as ethereal at first, then gains volume and shape in the glass. Dark red fruit, minerals, mint, flowers, spices and anise are all woven together nicely. There is plenty of length, persistence and Howell Mountain character on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029.

Fresh and full of character, this firmly-structured Cabernet weaves ripe notes of black currant and Santa Rosa plum with black licorice and a shade of mint tea. Built for aging, this is a classic hillside Cab, with good weight, polished tannins and a mouthwatering finish that carries hints of dried lavender, coffee and toast. Gnocchi with brown butter and sage would be a good match here, as would grilled duck breasts with a cherry-plum sauce.
